Some of my most popular posts are burlap craft projects. I’ve cut it, sewn with it, stenciled it, ironed it, washed it, and even upholstered furniture with it! It gets pretty messy and you have to deal with fraying and fiber debris all over your work space. I’ve done so many projects and through the […]

Maybe I should have titled this post “One Wreath, Five Ways” because this is the fifth time I have used this little hanging basket for my front door decoration. I love that it is so versatile and you can use it for all holidays and special occasions. This time, since autumn is officially here, I […]

You may know that I am obsessed with dollar bins at retail stores. I ALWAYS get sucked in. There are very few times where I walk by and find nothing. This time I found some little burlap sacks and some pretty trim. I tossed them into my basket and knew exactly what I was going […]

I had the honor of sharing this project, how to make a spring centerpiece with stenciled burlap, on the Darice Blog and today I wanted to re-share it with you here on DIY Inspired! Now that spring well underway, this fun and easy project will help brighten up your dining room table! I have a […]

I am honored to be sponsored by BurlapFabric.com today for this tutorial. OK, so I’m not technically going to a Bachelorette party, rather a fun annual girls weekend that my four best friends and I try to do once a year (it doesn’t always work out with over a dozen kids among us!). This year, […]

I had some left over fabric from some St. Patrick’s Day no sew hand towels I made. I am lacking in my decorations this year so I decided to make a St. Patrick’s Day Fabric Scrap and Burlap Scrap Bunting. My leftovers were the perfect amount. I had made a banner similar to this one […]

Gift Card Pairing Ideas is sponsored by Ralph’s. All opinions are 100% my own. I’ve often heard people say “gift cards are so impersonal”. On the contrary, gift cards allow the recipient to buy what their hearts desire without the hassles and hurts of playing the return and exchange game. I’ve put together a fun […]

I think all Crafters these days love making crafts out of burlap. It’s inexpensive, rustic yet feminine in style, and timeless. We use it for weddings, showers, and even home décor projects. The possibilities of its use are endless. As I sat here the other night I realized that I have done several burlap crafts […]

This Fall Pumpkin Centerpiece tutorial is sponsored by Jo-Ann Fabric & Craft Stores. All opinions are 100% my own. I’m pretty much a regular at Jo-Ann’s…at several locations! This year for fall, they had a great line of Autumn Inspirations that really sparked some ideas. In particular, I love the hints of dark navy blue. […]

I wanted to make a small wreath to hang on the door to my guest bathroom downstairs. A friend of mine used a wire hanger for a Christmas wreath in the past, so I thought I’d give it a try. I also have made a recycled book page butterfly wreath with a wire hanger. I […]

Since I got a little taste of my glittery and “bling-ed” out Halloween, I thought I’d definitely want to bring a little glitz and glam to my dinner table this year for Thanksgiving. I guess you could call it rustic chic! Plus, I love burlap crafts. I found some sparkly earrings in my closet and […]

I have been working on this vintage themed baby shower that I have coming up for a friend and I just wanted to share a couple of the decoration ideas I have already started. You know how I love upcycling so I started saving sauce and dressing jars to use as flower vases. I also had […]

I can’t believe that I found this ottoman on a recent thrift store shopping mission for five dollars! It was the perfect trash to treasure project. I couldn’t wait to get it home to get started on my makeover. Now, this post is more than a simple ottoman makeover, because there was one EXTREMELY annoying […]

OK, so now you know I like Patron…Silver, that is. It took a long time and a few parties and get-togethers to get through this bottle. Initially I didn’t intend on keeping it. After I finished it, however I couldn’t part ways because I love the shape, color, and durability of it. Instead of throwing […]

I must say that stenciling is one of my favorite craft projects to do. It’s a fairly simple task, especially when you know a few tips or tricks. It is also very versatile in that you can use it for small and large projects, from place mats to furniture. Here are eight fun and easy […]

I purchased these coffee bean sacks from a flea market a while ago. They have been sitting in my craft closet just waiting to be transformed. Ever since we remodeled our patio, I knew I wanted to make this Recycled Coffee Bean Sack Pillow. I knew it would look fabulous on my new outdoor furniture. […]

When I first started blogging I knew what I wanted my “brand” to be. I knew that I wanted to inspire people to save money but in a creative and beautiful way. What I also wanted was to focus on recycling and reuse. Whether it’d be from transforming a thrift store find, or thinking twice […]

OK, I’m calling this a Burlap Scrap Wreath because not only is it made out of burlap scraps; this wreath is also made out of craft scraps. It is made out of plumbing insulation, burlap left over from my burlap stenciled placemats, frames from my daughter’s butterfly themed birthday party, tulle from my daughters Alice […]
